Thread: Decorative connection with a bridge kitchen faucet

    Decorative connection with a bridge kitchen faucet

    I am thinking of installing a new kitchen sink with a bridge-type faucet.

    While I find this faucet attractive, does the bridge styling have any functional advantages as well?

    I don't want to pay extra money for just good looks.

    A bridge kitchen faucet is a good example of form meeting function. Bride faucets are two-handle kitchen faucets with the water connector pipe between the hot and cold valves exposed above the sink.

    This is what gives it the "bridge" look. The faucet spout connects up and off the exposed bridge pipe to compete a very dramatic look.

    Since the main body of the faucet sits above the sink, one advantage is you can get extra spout clearance for washing or filling large pots. Another advantage is since the faucet has no deck plate, it's a very easy faucet to keep clean.

    Keep in mind that in most cases, the kitchen sink may need to be special ordered to fit this faucet style, but you can cross that bridge when you come to it.
